Dennis, The load we settled on 78 gr. 3031 got avg. 2150 fps with 500 gr. Woodleigh, we went to 80 gr. compressed and got a little more speed and a lot more recoil, so we backed it down. I'm happy with this load it clover leafs at 100 yrds out of my rifle and kills the hell out of pigs, I killed a 286# pig at 153 yrds my longest shot so far with this load. Rio7
